Peri Smilow

CHORUSWhere was GodWhen the match was kindledWhere was GodWhen the hatred was learnedWhat can we do when our neighbors’ world is shatteredWhat can we do

Fires are burning in the house of the LordIt’s been 30 short years since they were burning beforeAnd oh how we struggled to get where we’ve comeWe can’t let them take away all that we’ve won (chorus)

There was a man who spoke of a timeWhen they came for the gypsies and he said nothingThen they came for the gays and still he said nothingBecause he was not gayThen they came for the blacks and the JewsAnd the young and the oldAnd he said nothingAnd when they finally came for himThere was nobody left (chorus)
